Stora Enso Oyj appointed its board member, industry veteran Hans Sohlstrom as its new chief executive officer with immediate effect as the Finnish packaging company seeks to mitigate the hit on earnings from lower demand.

Annica Bresky, the first woman to serve as the chief executive of the company, will leave after just under four years in the role, Stora Enso said in a statement on Monday.
